Lyons View Pike reopens 2 months ahead of schedule

Construction on Lyons View Pike has been completed and the entire street has been reopened to through traffic, KUB announced Friday night.

The road closed in April so KUB could replace more than 3.8 miles of natural gas, water and wastewater lines through the area. It was expected to reopen in November, but crews completed the work two months ahead of schedule.

Crews said they worked long hours, many times up to 12-14 hours a day, seven days a week to get the road back open early.
